| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a large quartered heraldic shield of the Principality of Anhalt, displaying the combined arms of the ruling house including the Anhalt bear and associated quarterings, all rendered in late Gothic hammered style. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the field, identifying this as the coinage of the Princes of Anhalt-Bernburg. The legends are struck in Gothic minuscule letterforms characteristic of late 15th-century German minting. |
